Amy Sedaris and Bunnies in Style Magazine

Amy Sedaris with her rabbit Dusty.

Comedian, actress, and house rabbit advocate Amy Sedaris recently gave an interview in Style Magazine. She spoke about her rabbit Dusty, who recently passed away at 12 years old, Tattletale, her first rabbit, as well as general tidbits about living with house rabbits. Here are some highlights.

Regarding her friend, Stephen Colbert:

“Stephen wasn’t crazy about getting a rabbit. His kids wanted one and he didn’t want the responsibility, but he got a little black bunny, who actually just had its leg amputated. And I went over to his house and was like, ‘Stephen! You’re doing everything wrong!’ and I sent him hay and books and information. Now the rabbit is doing really well!”

On pampering her bunnies:

“One time on Strangers, we did an Indians episode. I brought the tepee back to my apartment, and Tattletale lived in that for a while.”

On rabbit behavior:

“Give them any kind of cardboard to chew on. They love it. They chew everything. My rabbits chewed my shoes and the side of my bed. They shredded my bed skirts. All of my clothes still have holes. If you really love your rabbit, you won’t care.”

Getting the rabbits sexed is always a good idea. Male rabbits can reach sexual maturity as young as 10 weeks. So if you don’t know the sexes of your rabbits, you need to separate them immediately. Otherwise you could wind up with a litter of baby bunnies. You should also spay/neuter your rabbits when they are old enough, as this can help ease territorial tendencies and help with bonding.

The other thing is that spaying your rabbits is generally a good idea. A lot of times, people think they have two female rabbits, but one’s actually male, and they end up with accidental litters. There are a number of other benefits to spaying your rabbits as well, including easing territorial tendencies.
